When it comes to mega lottery winners, no news is good news.

Yes, that is the age old question. To do the media availability and celebrity photo or not?

Some States only require the release of your full name. Plus the paperwork with your ID, Social Security card, ticket and claim form.

We do not see very many self-made millionaires flashing their cash in public. They live private lives. Safe and secure.

You got it!

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Place where my wife worked, woman won the PCH sweepstakes, quit only to learn it would be a year before the first real check, apparently you can't cash the big one. She had to beg for her job back . . . don't quit until you have cash in hand.

It usually takes about one month until you get the money in your bank account.

Unless you are already wealthy, or could survive a month without a paycheck, just keep your mouth shut and then quit.

What would your resignation letter read if you were to hit a large jackpot?

Good question because what will the claim anonymusly and/or with a trust people do when their boss and co-workers notice they quit?

The odds of even knowing anyone who won PCH are long enough let alone winning it. Last time I checked it was over a billion to win the big PCH sweep but it is free

100%

Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

Dear Boss:

My doctors have given me 40 years maximum to live. That doesn't leave much time for me to enjoy this 100 million. No mixed emotions but I am looking forward to the mixed tropical drinks on beaches across the globe.

Thank you for the salary that funded my lotto strategy. I couldn't have done this without you.

Regards,

OB

Lol lol Great letter.

DO NOT BE AFRAID.

How Great Thou Art. God has blessed America.

I currently have a MM ticket from Wyoming so I could / would claim anonymously. Even after receiving my funds I would still work for a month or 2 max then give my 2 weeks. I dont want it to cross anyone s mind that I may be the winner. Then I would say I was quitting to pursue my side gig as a pet sitter full time and travel a bit more... would be very believable to the folks who know me :) then I'd pack my bag and start traveling the world .

I buy my tickets in WYO also. My first action would be to move there immediately and claim the prize on 1/1/2019. No offense to the fine state of Utah but I have no intention of donating $15M (assuming I'm a single ticket winner) to their coffers for nothing, esp. since they refuse to allow lottery sales.

I've thought about that too... but wasn't sure if we would have enough time. I believe the ticket must be claimed in 6 months. I've looked into it and you must live in Wyoming 6 months to be considered a resident of the state ... hopefully I'm wrong . Trust me, I dont want utah getting any of that lotto money, they definitely dont deserve it.

I remember hearing a guy quit his job when h got the Lottery Winnings Check. He told his boss something like,"I won the Lottery. I'm wealthy now and don't need this job anymore. Screw this job, I quit!" He blew through his millions with more gambling, alcohol, prostitutes, fancy clothes, fancy houses and cars, fancy trips, fancy jewelry, etc. He was broke in a year and went back to his old workplace that he had so callously thrown away as soon as he got his millions, and begged for his job back. Sad.

"What's your ADDRESS?" May be the CREEPIEST question EVER asked to a Lottery Winner! O.O WTF?

At first, I found the one digit away draws kind of amusing, but now I am PISSED! 15 or 16 times I was off by just one digit in recent times!🤬 No longer find this amusing, it's making me REALLY angry now!🤬

Even if you don't like your job, there's really no reason to burn bridges.

Sometimes, karma has a way of biting back.
